Future concepts for biologization

Highlight projects from the Bionic Learning Network

In Festo's Bionic Learning Network, we have seen biology as a central source of inspiration for our innovations for many years. Our bionic engineers have developed numerous technologies that are based on the principles of nature. With our Future Concepts, we are exploring the possibilities of automation technology in the field of biologization. Discover our new solutions and approaches that support the industrial cultivation of biomass and shape a sustainable future.

From bionics to biologization: Ecological innovations for the world of tomorrow

With our automation technology, we want to provide climate-friendly solutions and thus contribute to improving the quality of life of present and future generations. Therefore, we are working intensively on how processes can be carried out with less material consumption and more recycling, and which alternative materials can be used.

Developing biology as a field of activity for automation is particularly promising. That is why we at Festo have established the research field of biologization. In connection with other companies, associations and institutes, we are researching how we can accelerate and scale biological processes with the help of sophisticated control and regulation technology, and thus make them economically viable.

With BioTech Automation, we also present an overview of already available components and solutions based on selected cultivation processes, which are demonstrated in two bioreactors and a training system.
